So, I definitely just wrote you a review and then my computer decided it hates me. Awesome. This review was originally 5x cooler, I blame my wifi.
Get wasted on El Nino margaritas until the room spins?
Again with the El Nino margaritas, eh? Are you in love with the El Nino margaritas? Are they your italian food? (Don't mock my joke, I'm very proud)
“Angela thinks we’re going to sleep together tonight,” she says absently.
WOW. And I think I let things slip drunkenly....
And the ending! Holy God woman, that sorta thing should be illegal! And just so you know, I have it on authority that chapter 3 can similarly help end the writers' strike. It's all in your hands now...
Author's Response:
Your stupid computer! What did you do to it to make it hate you so? My new macbook is on it's way to me within the hour! SQUEE!
Um, yes. I like El Nino margaritas. In fact, uh... I'm in love with them. :-P
I actually once went online and read the Chili's menu to get a drink name so I could use a more specific drink in a fic. And then I rewatched the Dundies and the waitress actually mentions El Nino margaritas to Dwight! Woo!
I have so much responsibility now what with the strike depending on me! Gah! Okay, you may be getting an email from me tomorrow with a draft of ch3 :)

woah. intense... but i like it. of course we knew he wasn't gonna keep that promise to Angela. and really, it's Pam's fault anyway, right? right.
also, I love Mark. I love it when we get to see more of him, and I love how you've written him here. "The Pam." haha.
Author's Response: Totally Pam's fault. And the second drinks. It's their fault too. Heh. I'm glad you liked Mark! I wanted him to know about Pam without coming off like a girly matchmaker, hence the "your mom" joke and the flipping off :) I figure Jim and Mark interact like my college guy friends.

Wow. That was awesome. I love how long your chapters are! But now I'm having trouble because there were so many good things in the chapter I'm going to forget all of them.
Aww poor Jim. You really got into their heads again, you're great at that. Now I really need to read the next chapter! Update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks Snoz! I do have a thing for long chapters. Once things get to like... 7000 words I'm like, okay maybe I can find a chapter break in there somewhere, lol.

Huzzah! That was wonderful. I loved Jim's speech at the end. Can't wait to see Pam's reaction.
I think I heard that too, about reviews and the strike. Well, here's hoping.
Author's Response: Thanks! I think I'm going to start chapter 3 with Pam's reaction, and then shoot immediately back to Jim. Still working out all the detail in my head :) And the strike hasn't ended yet, but I still maintain that my theory is true.
Date: November 07, 2007 09:39 pm Title: From Bad to Worse
Well, I think you know what i think. It's perfect. Truly this is some of your best writing lately. Just awesome
Author's Response: You are the best! There is nothing more to say.
Date: November 07, 2007 09:25 pm Title: From Bad to Worse
That was AMAZING! I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks desdemona!

angry, feisty jim is just as hot as sensitive, loving jim pining over pam. i know it's the angst that makes the narrative so strong, but sometimes i just want pam to be able to say what she means. this story captured pam very nicely, though - her drunkenness, her obliviousness, her inability to realize that jim loves her way more than roy ever could. i think the line "this is the chili's parking lot all over again" sums it up wonderfully :)
Author's Response:
Pam is getting there. Wait for her to sober up a little bit :)
Thanks for the review!

It’s totally normal for a twenty-six year old guy to have crayons. Right
When you're Jim Halpert, you could have eight million crayons and I'd still love him. Some crayons? not that weird. Maybe being a future teacher is bringing out the bias in me.... who cares.
Normally he would have melted into a puddle and slipped between the couch cushions at this moment, because Pam is whispering seductively in his ear. But all he can feel is hurt and sort of angry
Gah!! So angsty but fluffy but not and yeah. Whew.
Why is this so hard?
TWSS. Sorry, had to be said.
But she’s cut off by his lips. She gasps and arches toward him. His arms are around her, and his palms are flat and hot against her back, pulling her so close that there is absolutely no space between their bodies.
After seeing Money? This is totally visual for me :D Love it.
Oh my god, the ending? So good! I can't even think of the proper way to explain it but so 'guh' is my emotion right now :) I think you should rewrite the title to be "Best Story Ever" B/c well it is!!
Author's Response: Thanks WBJ! You're the best! And excellent usage of twss. I bow down to you.

This is really good. I had no idea I was so fond of angry, angsty Jim. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Author's Response:
Thanks, Azlin. Normally all I write is angsty fighting, but I think the worst is over now in this fic.

Author's Response: Thanks! I loooove it when people say that they can see it happening. I try so hard to make it visual.

This is the best Dundies story ever. I love so many things about it. Your drunk!Pam is pitch perfect and the kiss at the end? sigh.
Author's Response: Thank you! I had a difficult time writing from a drunken POV. I had to regress to last year in college and remember some very embarrassing nights ;-)

Why do I love this soooo much?!?!?! SO fantastic. ugh. Just one question, though: WILL Hiro be making an appearance? ;-) Great work. More soon I hope?
Author's Response:
Darn it, stablergirl! Did you get a copy of my story notes?! Well, now you've gone and ruined the surprise ending. Gosh.
Heh. Thanks so much!

“When you kiss me, it’s a big deal."
Wow, I love that line so much! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, stampsgal. I was very proud of Jim's last lines there.

Oh man...that was seriously one of the greatest, most compelling chapters of fanfic I have ever read. Just unbelievable. The emotions you depict them having ring so true and you just tell the story so perfectly. I will be checking ceaselessly for chapte three of this masterpiece.
Bravo.
Author's Response: Wow, what an insanely nice compliment brokenloon! The pressure is on for ch3 now!

Oh holy carp! I always wondered what Jim thought through most of S2 after Pam kissed him at the Dundies.
P.S. Angry!Jim is smoking hot!
Author's Response: lol, thanks lisahoo! See, now that I'm rereading, Jim does seem quite angry. As I was writing I just thought of him as really upset, but yeah. He's pissed.

wow gripping.
i was reeling and the third kiss? powerful
keep up the good work! I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Glad the third kiss worked. I always spaz out when I have to write something steamy!
